You can not look at future cap numbers as locked in stone. I'm sure you know that, already. There is currently $181 million on the books in base salaries for the 2021 season. The vast majority of that is subject to restructure. I pointed out earlier the accounting logic behind kicking that can and this is a huge hunk of can that can be kicked. There is an additional $11 million plus in roster bonuses that can be converted instantly without any input from the player.

Re: Kamara is now holding out
hmmm, my understanding is DB#9 has a contract in place with CBSSports, contingent on only one more year of football. As far as him continuing to play, based on the immediate past, which have shown a marked decrease in arm strength, I’m not sure the best scenario is to continue watching him play into his mid 40’s. He’s now very little more than an extremely accurate dink & dunk, extremely cerebral QB, and imho, that can only go so far.
Everybody who makes a post here will see me give them due respect for their opinions and time, especially if they differ from mine. Including spkb. Trust me, if I were toxic and chose a side, belittling others, I might just have had some issues with quite a few of your posts! lol. But differences are what makes the world a better place. I’m grateful you’re around, I’m also grateful for him/her, even trolls (and I’m not making that case) May, just May, have hidden nuggets of truth inside their posts. I can see them. Edit: Replace CBSSports with NBC. |

Re: Kamara is now holding out
Bottom line is I’ve always liked the young man and hope to see him back in black and gold. When healthy he’s a very dynamic piece of the puzzle.

He has said recently that he will approach the coming off-season in the same manner as he has the last several. That's why the contract is front end flexible. NBC was willing to do it to get a jump on ESPN who were interested in Brees post-career, as well.
As for arm strength, you may have missed some recent articles posted here on the off-season training Brees had working with his throwing coach, Tom House, and how they addressed any concerns with arm strength. It appears to being paying off with many commenting about the additional zip they are seeing on his ball and his accuracy downfield thus far in camp. |
